I remember reading that Loops (? - may be wrong about which one) does the same thing, only displaying statuses with videos in them. I have not, so far, seen anyone claim that that is a bad thing, and frankly don’t agree that it is. If we can’t do that, then we can never have specialized platforms built on ActivityPub, e.g. platforms only for videos or for photos, etc., and that would severely limit what we can do with it.

In GTA 5, get on a train, get a wanted level, try to keep the wanted level for an entire round-trip around the map, then try to escape the wanted level, all while staying on the train and surviving.

(it’s been a few years since I tried this and don’t remember if those were the exact rules, but they were something like this)

The article is from May; has anything important related to this happened in the last few days, or why are you posting this now?

That looks good, I might try it over the weekend. :D Thanks for the effort.

If you come up with one, I might start to use it. I generally like the classic Windows style because the first computer interfaces I ever used looked like that, but nowadays I definitely insist on dark mode.

It isn’t any of my business whether other people use light themes… but IMHO dark themes are just so much easier on the eyes, no matter the surrounding light, that I don’t get why anyone would if they have the option.

In my mind it’s weird to use any light theme at all now that dark themes are widely available, but if you are going to, this isn’t any weirder than any other.

Another disadvantage it seems to have over many other themes is that in tabbed interfaces there is no color bar on the currently active tab, so you can’t spot the currently active tab as quickly.

I wish my own city’s airport were that well connected to the city.

What would be interesting is whether there are any countries that voted differently from what they currently do (ie countries that have the death penalty but voted for a moratorium, or the other way round).

That one was usually not autoreplaced, likely a reason why it was used specifically to get around that.

long before emoji, most web forums had “smilies” (replacements of strings like “:)” and “:(” and “:P” with corresponding smiley images); emoji are in my mind that except standardized in Unicode and a way to save bandwidth

Then no one can cross the tracks there at all anymore.

What does that even mean…? If you know of something specific that is superior about analog compared to digital clocks, I’d like to hear it.

That’s what https://lemmit.online/ is for reddit to Lemmy, https://sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/ for Twitter and apparently also Instagram.

One problem with this is copyright; if it’s OC images or text posts, it could infringe on the original poster’s copyright. Not a problem if it’s merely sharing links.

Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.

No, this is false as far as I can tell. I am willing to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable but my understanding is:

Communities are implemented not as hashtags, but as special users who “boost” everything addressed to them. That is why Lemmy sometimes gets posts made on Mastodon that mention a Lemmy community. It doesn’t always look great: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/45785836

So communities and hashtags aren’t the same thing. In particular, communities have moderators who can remove things or ban people. Hashtags don’t.

It is a feature of Lemmy that all new posts (not, AFAIK, comments) also get the community name added as a hashtag. This is what OP was seeing and serves to somewhat increase the reach of Lemmy posts. But you can’t follow microblog hashtags on Lemmy.

I remember a similar screen, though with the elements beside each other rather than on top of each other because I was on desktop. So yes, Cloudflare’s error messages are actually accurate in that regard.

both lemmy.world and lemmy.ca are working for me right now? Maybe they’ve come back up.

OK

End presidential pardon

Chelsea Manning and Ross Ulbricht would still be in prison if not for that. Are you sure that is something you want?
